“Hyung, do you know Sojin ssi? Omma asks if you want to meet her.”

Leo narrowed his eyes on Sanghyuk who was rummaging his fridge, looking for food.

“Why?”

He asks shortly and Sanghyuk munch on an apple as he walks to him, putting a can of cola on the coffee table.

“It’s obvious. You are getting old. Omma and ahjumma were worried sick if you will end up alone. You don’t socialize that much too. So, they kinda help you with searching for someone.”

“They told you all that?”

Sanghyuk shakes his head.

“Of course not. But the point is there.”

He reasoned, grabbing the remote to switch on the TV while Leo is close to roast the younger alive.

“I don’t have any interest on going to a blind date Sanghyuk. I’m busy.”

He pulls the remote from Sanghyuk and switch it off.

“Go home. I’m going out.”

“Where? The coffee shop? Can I come?”

“No.”

He answers almost too quickly but Sanghyuk did tail him there though.

###

“Hi hyung.”

Sanghyuk greeted Hakyeon who greets him with a shining smile.

“You are here again Hyukkie.”

“Is Sungjae in?”

“You came here everyday?”

Leo asks, dumbfounded after hearing Hakyeon and Sanghyuk’s conversation.

“I told you my best friend works here hyung. I fetch him everyday since he stays with me at the moment.”

“You told me?”

“Gurae. When we was having coffee that noona made and you said that’s not as good as N hyung’s coffee. Then you start to space out.”

“Ahh.”

Leo responds and Hakyeon’s shakes his head at the two.

“You did space out now and then Leo. You need to rest if works is tiring.”

“Aniya. It’s nothing of that sort.”

Leo answered while rubbing his nape.

“Do you want to have latte macchiato today? It’s our special coffee in the menu of the day. Sungjae’s speciality.”

“Sure.”

“Sit. I’ll come to you shortly.”

“Deh?”

“With the coffee of course.”

“I told you hyung day dream a lot.”

And Sanghyuk ran for his dear life after he said that.

###

Leo lazily check his phone and saw Sanghyuk’s message on his screen.

-Is Sojin ssi okay? The elder are asking.-

-I have someone I like Sanghyuk ah.-

-Really? Introduce.-

-What for?-

-Don’t be so petty hyung. ㅠㅠ-

-I am petty. Don’t you know that?-

-Tchh. Arasseo.-

Leo smiles on his petty win over Sanghyuk but only the he remember.

“How do I show that I like N?”

He then text his annoying cousin, asking for his help. Sanghyuk dates around in school and he always brag that he helps his friends by sharing love tips.

-Hyuk, care to share dating tips?-

-Don’t kick me if I wear your clothes and I’ll share it.-

“This kid.”

He groans in annoyance but still, sending him a reply.

-Deal.-

-I’ll send it through email.-

Leo quickly went to his room and brings out his laptop. He switch it on and waited for Sanghyuk mail which he received after refreshing it few times only.

He smiles expectantly as he go through the email but his smile faded when he read the content.

Way to date a girl.

• Make surprises
• Buy her gifts occasionally
• Treats her to good food
• Compliments her
• Kiss her when she less expected it

Leo slams his back on the chair; blew a raspberry. All Sanghyuk shares to him is about how to date a girl but the thing is the one he likes is not a girl, it’s a boy.

“But. Is it going to be awkward if Sanghyuk knows?”

He though and shakes his head at the thought.

“I shouldn’t tell him. Never.”

Then he nods at his own idea, smiles at the tips.

“I can just try my luck right?”

Leo was smiling so bright only at the thought and he then make up his mind. He should just go for it.

###

“I’m going out Binnie. Take charge okay.”

“Neh hyung. Careful.”

“Arasseo.”

He chuckles at Hongbin’s care and pats Sungjae’s arm, gesturing that he is going.

“Take care hyung.”

“You too? Alright. I will be extra careful today. Chua?”

Hongbin smiles while leaning on the counter, model-like while Sungjae nods quickly.

Hakyeon then make his way out before he got another “be careful” from his other staffs.

“N.”

Leo calls him when he saw Hakyeon was about to board his car.

“Oh Leo. You came for coffee?”

“Ah yes. You are going out?”

“I’m paying bills and I will go to buy some things for the cafe.”

“Really?”

“Deh. Go on in and enjoy your coffee.”

“Aniya. It won’t be the same without you around.”

“Aigoo. Don’t flatter me that much.”

Leo chuckles and when Hakyeon saw that Leo was in his casual attire, he got an idea.

“Join me shopping then.”

“Are you sure?”

“Gureom. I got someone to help me with carrying the things.”

He laughs and Leo chuckles as well.

“I’m joking on that carry things though.”

“It’s okay actually. I can help you.”

“Let’s go then. I’ll drive and you can see how skilful I am.”

“I’ll give review then.”

“Do that. Do that.”

Hakyeon rolls his eyes but he invites Leo to hop on.

“I’ll pay bills first neh. Then we can enjoy shopping.”

“Do you love shopping that much?”

“Very. Until Binnie calls me a nagging ahjumma when I went shopping with him last time. Hence, I stop bringing him along.”

“To be honest, this is my first time.”

“First time?”

“I usually annoyed at Sanghyuk on his non stop chatter but I kind of like talking to you.”

“Chinca? So I’m a certified friend of yours now?”

Leo chuckles and Hakyeon grins.

“Wait while I go inside neh.”

“Sure.”

Said Leo and smiles as he looks at Hakyeon who soon disappear from his eyes.

“I should start from today then.”
